Number 10 has refused to answer repeated questions about whether David Cameron helped his Nepalese nanny become a British citizen.

Downing Street disclosed on Thursday night that the Camerons’ nanny Gita Lima, who has worked for the family for a number of years is now a British citizen.

However the Prime Minister’s deputy official spokesman refused to answer detailed questions about the process which led to Miss Lima becoming a British national.

The spokesman said at this morning’s Lobby meeting: “I am not going to get into those details. The point is that the PM’s nanny is someone who has come here, worked hard, wants to get on in life and is now a British citizen.

She said she was “not aware” and would “not get into those details” about whether Mr Cameron had written a supporting letter to accompany her application. She added that “Gita still works for” the Cameron family.
